OLD BURYINQ GROUND. 



The following are the records on all 
the stones in the Old Burying Ground in 
Falmouth which were standing in the 
year li)03. The history of this old 
burj'ing ground is lost in obscurity and 
in the limited time at my disposal, I 
have been unable to discover any ac- 
count in the early records of the town of 
its laying out. It is hoped by the time 
these records have been completed, to 
give its history so far as tradition and n 
more careful search through the records 
here and at Barnstable may make possi- 
ble. 

The purpose in view in publishing 
these old records is to obtain added in- 
formation respecting those who have 
been buried in the ground but whose 
graves are unmarked. It is therefore 
earnestly requested that anyone having 
information of any burials, the record of 
which does not appear in these printed 
lists, will communicate such informa- 
tion to me, and thus help to complete 
the record and preserve the memory of 
those whose last resting place is unre- 
corded. 

The gathering and preparation of 
these inscriptions have involved much 
and careful work, The town as well as 
myself in this connection, is greatly in- 
debted to Mr. Seba A. Holton for valued 
services most freely given and at the 
expenditure of no little time. Special 
mention should also be made of Miss 
Anna W. Gardner and Mrs. John H. 
Quint, who have done the entire work 
of drawing off and arranging the in- 
scriptions in full. 

The epitaphs, however, do not, except 
in a few instances, [appear in the printed 
record. The numbers prefixed to thein- 
sciptions refer to a chart on which the 
locations of the graves, so far as could 
be identified, have been entered. The 
perpendicular lines indicate the division 
of the lines on the stones. 

So far as known, this record as it 
appears is the only one in existence.
